Description
Measuring the surface brightness changes in HST images in Hα and
[O III]5007 Å taken with a time interval of 6.84 yr, we show how
to detect separately the changes due to density variations and those due
to temperature variations. Following O'Dell et al., we used the
brightness changes to show and measure proper motions in streams and
fronts at up to 140 km s-1. The strongest density variations
coincide with the proper motions, while in quiescent zones we can detect
mean temperature variations of tens of degrees along the line of sight
in the time interval between the observations.
